VIPA

Name
VIPA
Summary
Specifies a symbolic name to use instead of z/Server's IP address when connecting to the client.
Default
No default.
Supported Values
Any valid DNS hostname.
Additional Information
By default, during connection z/Server sends its own IP address back to the client, which is then used by the client for further communication. However, when the client connects through NAT'ed addresses, the IP address that the scheduler address space knows about might be completely different from the IP address that the client must use. In this case, the symbolic name provided by the VIPA parameter (and translated using a DNS server) should be specified to ensure communication.
Note: The VIPA parameter cannot be used when no fixed unique IP address is assigned to the symbolic name, for example, when VIPA is used for load distribution.
Example
VIPA="custom.com"
